the third 12 inch sampler taken from lukes unfinished business compilation series, this time featuring a lost dub of the nails classic hurt u featured as part of the kittens single back in the year 2000. nail is enjoying a fantastic and deserved renaissance at the moment and will felt it was high time let this baby loose. this is followed by another lost gem from the wonderful tak label. the last unfinished business compilation featured the timedwellers and now it’s time for collis king, look out for some unreleased gems to be featured on an ep from classic later this year. number 3 is the tripped out vocal classic from sandee - given some modern day remastering business a record that has proven to be totally timeless - and a stalwart at luke and kenny hawkes legendary space nights at bar rumba. and finally - lukes very own stop the riot - the first single he recorded with sam lynham from gramme championed by the likes of skream on radio one and nemone on 6 music - we felt the single deserved its very own place on vinyl.

greco-romance. it has often been said that the early underground parties thrown by the greco-roman artist collective, party and record label were romantic affairs. maybe it was the punch, maybe it was the music, but love was certainly in the air. and so the third solo ep from hot chips joe goddard picks up where last summers ep *taking over*s love affair with club basements left off.

unfinished business is the latest step for luke solomon, a mix album for his kaleidoscopic talents that gives him the chance to highlight what is still the bedrock of his extraordinary career: being behind the turntables and digging out those records you really should be listening to but might have missed in the avalanche of background noise. this handpicked four track sampler highlights some of the exclusive vinyl only releases from the forthcoming compilation.

over the course of his twenty-plus-year-long career, luke solomon has made one hell of a name for himself: he has released dozens of singles and eps on labels like crosstown rebels, rekids, cajual, and playhouse, to name a few, founded his own imprint, classic, with longtime friend and co-conspirator, derrick carter, dropped four albums, and had a hand in well over 100 remixes. as one might expect, it is a tremendous honor to now welcome the veteran dj and producer to lph, where we think he fits in perfectly, despite being the artist in our ranks with the most impressive tenure.

breaking news!? luke solomun on gomma sublabel toy tonics!

when luke solomon got in touch and said he wanted to work with local talk we felt both honoured and happy, especially since we have been fans for a long time and mats actually booked him to his raw fusion club in the late 90s. he has been around long enough to be considered a legend within the scene. we couldnt agree more. lost channels, a 130 bpm piano driven and punk-dubby new york inspired house track comes in two versions. the raw & stripped version is exactly what the name says, sharp snares & hi-hats, piano chords, a driving rhythm with lukes trademark percussion sprinkled on top. the live piano version is actually the original version and is peppered with more of everything. bubbly fx, more of that staccato piano and of course that muscular bassline. for remix duties it is the return of an old local talk friend, wil maddams. it seems like wil has spent some time in detroit since last time. this remix sounds like something that would come straight out of the d, his clever drum programming holds this track together with its deep pads and bubbling bassline. it is a retro (but fresh) techno jam for 2014.

mile end records is pleased to present their latest release, slide, which is a collaboration between two undisputed legends of house music: roy davis jr. and robert owens

the british producer luke solomon wanted to add his own remix of thankyou porvenir to the oblack collection. a remix that is gonna give more than one broken bone in the hip and pelvis. it is music strictly made to dance to, full of energy and showing the craziest side of house. a track where horns and whistles can be heard, even pixelated voices, with an insane 8beat path that gives to the song the exact amount of tasty flavour. no joke fellas! this is a kind of slam dunk piece for solomon

phreakin acidic house bombs , fits perfect into groovy techy sets

after the success of little creatures 1st release, luke continues his vinyl only journey with another self produced single. this time he teams up with roual galloway from the legendary faith magazine.

the original is driving disco house that builds, twists and turns…! jonny had played the track at t bar and it had been heard by mr g (rekids) who requested to do the remix which is a more minimal late night groover that will appeal more to those that are more in touch with their tech side. great release by the sometime freaks

drei verrückte techhouse stücke zum ausflippen. ab dafuer

a-side >monsters< is a relief style tech funky piece with computer game samples. b-side is the track with an ominous bass, shuffling beats and infectious rhythm with minimal leanings and a very catchy but eerie synth hook

rekids present >ghouls< by the multi-talented music for freaks luke solomon. a massive stomper of a record with heavy drums aplenty - this is the peak time jackin house that luke does to perfection. this killer 12inch also features a hot remix from man of the moment >claude von stroke<. he takes things strictly minimal but bouncy then beefs things up near the end of his mix as the bassline turns much more snarling. perfect for the dance floor!

a man that needs no real introduction gives us the first in a series of offerings. luke solomons newest production company bad brains and black flags brings us two new hot tracks. the title track phantoms with its bass driven punk edge and the b side end of days with its more tweaky white noise kinda feeling. another example of how punks and electronics can coincide harmoniously. whatever your pleasure we re sure you ll dig this one just as much as we do

coming stateside with this very freakish/dlc-styled track, a perfect pairing for select imprint. the original i dont laa features a rubbery euro/german bassline with some diz-like vocals and cut-up clicky electronic drums - sleazy, greasy stuff thatll appeal to a nice range of electro-house djs. remixes come fromthe midas alums honest cars who turn in a gritty, rock-flavored electro-pop that could fit nicely in with the angrosso/prydz fans, and freak-meister himself luke solomon who completely flips the vocal over a buzzing and burbling acid backing track. mental gear for only the most twisted dancefloor sessions here
